About the host

Hosted by Jenny and Richard Rees

Host profile image
Jenny Rees lives in Edinburgh in Scotland. She and her husband bought the house in 2014. Richard died recently but Jenny has kept on the house as she and her children and grandchildren love spending time there.

Why they chose this property

Richard met the previous owner who also lives in Edinburgh and who told him of the house in Provence that she had owned and enjoyed for over twenty years. Richard and Jenny spent their first week in the house in March 2014 and fell in love with it: the house, the terrace, the pool and garden, the olive grove, the wonderful views and the beautiful surrounding area.
Barjols is not a twee place: it is a working French-speaking town, which we think adds to the satisfaction of coming to France. Very much on the up, with new supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and traiteurs. And, naturellement, an excellent boulangerie nearby, to reward an early morning stroll with freshly baked baguettes and croissants to eat on the terrace.

What makes this property unique

Our guests remark favourably on Maison Genet's location. South facing with a clear view across t the Mont La St-Baume Massif. Near to the facilities of a lively town, but still in the countryside: quiet but not isolated. Easy travel to and from the airports, and to the beaches, mountains and lakes of Provence, Monte Carlo, Cote d'Azur and the Camargue. Maison Genet has the feel of a cosy home rather than a hotel apartment
And a great pool to swim lengths in and for play or simply to chill under a starry sky! Dark skies and clear air mean good astronomical observations: a telescope is available.
